Making Prince lyrics acceptable for live performance Prince has kind of "succeeded" in toning down the lyrics of songs such as 'Days of Wild' so that he can still play them live without causing offence.
Now I was just reading the "Sister" thread ealier on and I was thinking its such a shame that we will probably never be able to this song played live again due to its lyrical content. However, is there any possible way he could tone down the lyrics to this song? Anybody got any ideas for a few lyric changes so that Prince might be able to play it live again? -----------------------------------------

If he doesn't like his lyrics anymore he should just stop playing these songs  With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

Nah, don't get too discouraged. It's Prince. I wouldn't be surprised if 2 years from now, he's dirtier and nastier than ever. "We're all members of the animal kingdom

You know, some lyrics just shouldn't be altered. Maybe he should not sing this one because there is no getting around the content in this one. U want me to swivel in your love seat, don't
u baby. | |

No. Even if he hadn't decided to discard certain songs in a live setting, I don't think he should sing this one. It's fixed in time forever, we'll always have it whenever we want to hear it anyway. And if he tries to phuck with it on potential remasters I'll kick his ass. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Cleaning up Sister would be like editing "Lactation Nation" into "Gandhi." It ain't gonna happen. Hopefully Prince will realize he's already going against many of the JW teachings and bring back some of his nastier classics. http://www.juicycerebellu.../movie.htm "Proudly raking the cinematic muck since 1997" | |

Prince can still sing the old "dirty" songs. He just needs to use his imagination.....
One word ya'll..... I remember when I met u, baby U were on you're way to be wed U had such a sexy pen set I loved the way you wrote and the things you said And I was it little worried when I saw your pen had mis-bled But I've gotta help u, baby Can you try my pencil instead? And you said "But I just a writer And I'm on my way to be wed But you're such a sprite, with nice graphite” Give me some Lead Til you're burning up Lead Til you get enough Lead Til you're fingers is red Lead Love you til you're dead U know you're good, girl I think you like to write down U wouldn't have stopped But U misused a good pro-noun, And you said, “I must confess, I’m think I’m tired and I need bed” With that I jammed, tomorrow, The JW news we spread! Now morning, noon, and night I give u Lead Til you're burning up Lead Til you get enough Lead Til you're love is red Lead Love you til you're dead Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah Lead, Lead, Lead, oh, Lead, oh Lead Till you're burning up Lead Til you get enough Lead Til your love is red Lead Love you til you're dead See, he can do it!

| Ok now, lets all just calm down about prince changing his lyrics!!!!! I'm not sure if everyone is talking about Prince at his American gigs but I'm sure when he comes to Britain (if he does) then he won't change his lyrics. He can't change his lyrics, thats like asking George Bush to grow brain cells (IMPOSSIBLE). So lets hope he never does or has to.
1 2 3 - Nah, little cutie, I ain't drinkin' (Gett off) Scope this, I was just thinkin' U + me, what a ride If u was thinkin' the same We could continue outside (Gett off) Lay your pretty body against a parkin' meter Strip your dress down Like I was strippin' a Peter Paul's Almond Joy Lemme show u baby I'm a talented boy | |
